It's possible those could be filler in a trade for someone useful. Of course, these are questions that an expert GM should be able to navigate.
I think they'll decline his club option for 27/28 and just waive Johnson this summer. His $3.2M is not a huge barrier. They have the financial flexibility/room under the Tax line to just keep his money on the books for the last year of his deal and open up that roster spot, if needed.
